On the IC forums, Fort90 gives us advance warning of an art exhibit opening in New York tomorrow (Jan.15th), called 'Super Mario Movie' by long-time game-related artist Cory Arcangel and Paper Rad. Apparently: "it is a hacked Super Mario Bros [NES] cartridge... instead of the game, you are presented with a 15 minute movie using all original graphics from the game." There's no news on the appearance of Hoskins, Leguizamo, and friends, mind you, but the exhibit will be showing at Deitch Projects until February 26th. [UPDATE: Fort90 has now posted a report on the opening, including pictures of the alt.movie in action.]
